I’m not sure the Israeli government (and to be perfectly clear, this is very obviously coming from the Israeli government) is able to wrap their head around how much they’re absolutely shattering any goodwill they had from most rational people these days. And that’s not even going in to the irreparable damage they’re doing to their geopolitical relationships and alliances.
Bibi doesn’t understand that his power play… didn’t.
Funny how a bunch of non-governmental institutions uphold colonialism and anyone who wants to partake has to play ball… it’s like as if there’s an empire, an empire with flags from China, workers from Mexico and intellectual property made by Indians… but I can’t quite put my hamburger on it…
For those unfamiliar Herzog is the president of israel. Israel was likely a major supplier of weapons for the the Rwandan Genocide and refuses to disclose the documents for it
The state’s evidence and rationale behind keeping the information sealed was presented behind closed doors; however, it was based “only off of relevant considerations,” according to the court’s decision.
“In Israeli law, there is no legal right that is absolute, and even the right to information… is permitted to be passed over in light of other protected interests,” the justices ruled.
And also… Israel is committing Genocide right now.
I don’t watch/read news but from DW and bellingcat, etc. but ok.
Anyone can see Israel’s lies. And fuck Iran too. I wouldn’t trust any of their news either. But calling out on one’s bullshit isn’t the same as supporting their enemy.
Ppl need therapy for the damage religion and nationalism have done to them. I’d wager you’re in that group
Iirc there was recently an interview that already stated she was massacared by a helicopter in the vehicle. Can’t dig for it right now but should be on The Electronic Intifada. The IDF confirming only that case afterwards is not news but does confirm more of the Hannibal directive.
For those who don’t know: The Hannibal directive was official policy of Israel to stop abductions of Israeli soldiers by all means necessary, including the death of the (Israeli) hostage. Often summarized as “rather dead than abducted”. The name was chosen randomly. Israel claims they no longer use this policy, but this is disputed.
That’s weird considering how much of it was documented, maybe it’s different for me because I live in this godforsaken place and news have to reach me one way or the other.
Those countries are allied with Iran though. Their recent votes and anti israel language at the UN signals the exact opposite. China and Russia are moving away from israel.
Sure but then the headline reads the other way “Biden Administration allows Israeli Government to cut Palestine off from banking, destroying their economy.”
I mean ideally Uncle Sam would put his size 14 boot on Israel’s neck and tell them to knock it the fuck off, but that’s very difficult to do when it comes to sovereign matters like how they run their banking system internally. Plus it then spins out another half dozen headlines that look terrible.
In this case I think that the Biden Administration made the correct choice, as bad as it was.
In response, the far-right lawmaker threatened to take steps in his capacity as head of the treasury that would significantly impede the Palestinian economy
This is just fucking evil. The US sanctioning Israel? Just take it out on the Palestinians.
Those downvotes are confusing. Biden has very openly talked about being a Zionist and how much that matters to him both recently and throughout his political life.
Are people just now realizing that’s a red flag but haven’t connected the dots ?
Settler leader should be stoned and beheaded for licking Nazi buttholes and savoring the taste. Israel has become worse than Nazi germany at its most utterly grotesque.
